Dear Friends,
We are delighted to announce our upcoming collaboration with chef and good friend Meedu Saad. On Saturday 7th March, for one night only, we will showcase some of the flavours that define Meedu’s new restaurant, Impala, which will open in Soho this spring.
Over the last two months, Meedu and the Ikoyi team have explored a variety of diverse ingredients and cooking styles in order to create a hybrid cooking event that blends their visions into one. As chefs, they share a passion for using hyper-seasonal British ingredients and source from many of the same producers, farmers and suppliers.
The 10-course menu is inspired by global culinary styles. It blends Ikoyi’s spice-driven cuisine, which is shaped by British micro-seasonality, with Impala’s focus on charcoal grilling, drawing on influences from North Africa and North London. Dishes will include sweetbread with bordelaise sauce, lobster with saffron, chestnut-fed pigeon with black lime and bay leaf-marinated cockles.
We are also very excited to be releasing very limited edition screen prints, long and short sleeve t-shirt.
